    Got the dragon well milk tea and their special milk tea. The tea is very light so you mostly taste milk. Not my cuppa tea but the cup and the design is amazing. I wished they had more bookmarks of the lady. The bag is soo pretty i wished it was reusuable. My friends like the mango sago here. They have book marks where yoy can write wishes and hang them on a tree. Very cute. Parking can be rough as there are lots of stores and limited parking spots. Not sure if theres underground parking

    Mango mochi drink (3catea )
    Annie T.

    Not bad, but not anything special. 3catea is much superior, especially the mango mochi drink It's decent, and still worth checking out but it's not superior to other drink places

    Menu (Dec 2025)

    Whenever I'm in Arcadia, BenGong is one of my go to spots. Their menu is quite extensive and drinks never disappoint. Parking is plentiful and free which is a nice plus. Interior is very cute, good amount of tables as I see plenty of people sit and do work on their laptops here. To the right is a wishing tree that's decorated and perfect for photos. There's also a self ordering kiosk which is great when the shop gets busy. The menu itself is very extensive and very unique. Ranging from brown sugar specials which is one of their signatures to one of my personal favorites, the sparkling series. They also have Yakult, cheese, and fruit series to order. Staff is friendly and quick as our drinks came out withing 5 minutes. (Ordered on this specific occasion) -- Peach Oolong Milk Tea ($6.00) -- Very refreshing drink, peach doesn't overpower the drink as a whole and is just a perfect drink overall. Came in their deco cups which was a plus. Mixed very well with the Oolong Milk Tea, I would recommend this drink for anyone that has trouble deciding what to get. 10/10 -- Strawberry Peach Sparkling Tea ($6.25) -- I was pretty interested in the sparkling series and this one caught my eye the most. It's pretty much as expected, sparkling tea. Similar to a soda feeling, this was a solid refresher on a warm day. Although the taste kind of went away after about an hour, it was still a decent drink to try. Definitely checking the other sparkling drinks out next time I visit. 8/10 One underrated thing about this shop is their different type of cups. Ranging from the standard size cups, to their round cups and their decorated cups. Many drinks come in the smaller round cups so watch out for that if you're expecting a standard cup. Regardless, the cups are well made and super cute and sturdy. Overall, wonderful shop with cute designs, friendly staff, and high quality drinks. You can't really go wrong with any drink here as they're all super flavorful. Highly recommend giving BenGongs a visit.

    Food: 4.5/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 4.5/5 Interior decor in San Gabriel one is a bit bitter than here. Special boba milk tea always gonna be my top pick here. This time I got Mochi mango and which was also delicious. This is my go to boba shop in the area.

    Fruit tea

    Really enjoyed this tea spot! The fruit tea and brown sugar tea my nephew got were both really good super flavorful! The fruit tea had such freshnesss to it I'm like craving it every day ever since The location itself is really nice, modern, and thoughtfully designed. they actually have a little activity you can do while waiting for your drink. There's a tree inside where you can hang an affirmation bookmark. They provide yarn and bookmarks so you can write your own message and add it to the tree, which was so unique and rare to see a business too! I give them props for standing out like that! Overall, I liked it a lot and definitely want to come back to try more of their milk teas or maybe a slush next time.

    Burnt Brown Sugar Boba Milk Tea

    Tried their mango mochi drinks and they were alright, but 3CATEA had better ones. Their mango pomelo sago drinks are good tho. Also tried their golden oolong tea with tea cubes and it's pretty good. Quick and nice service. Still one of my fav boba shop to go to in SGV.

    We loved the drinks and wanted to go back again. The drinks were all very yummy. It was a nice clean establishment with plenty of parking. Will definitely visit again.

    This boba spot is open daily Hours are 12-8pm and Fri & Sat - they're open until 9! Parking is ok but it's shared with many other businesses so it could be challenging Menu has a good variety of fruit and milk tea drinks Pricing was ok - expect to pay $6-$7+ (most drinks can be either hot (+$0.50) or cold and there are 2 sizes - regular & large (+$0.75). There are a lot of topping options - $0.75). There are ice and sugar adjustments available. Loved the online ordering - did this option and it was so fast, easy, and convenient! Service was welcoming and friendly Inside was quite small but there were a few tables and chairs Mango Pomelo Sago ($6.25) - got this half sweet and less ice. This was not too sweet but I hardly tasted any mango unfortunately. I was expecting real mango pieces but just had bits of sour Pomelo. I think I prefer the mango Pomelo Sago from Yifang more so this was 6/10 Peach Oolong Milk Tea ($5.50) was pretty good! Got this half sugar, less ice, and with boba (+$0.75). It wasn't too sweet and the barley pieces were chewy and yummy! The boba was soft and fresh. However, I didn't really taste much of the peach or oolong so this was 7/10 Overall, I was quite disappointed so I most likely won't recommend or return.

    Went to Ben Gong's for the first time on a weekday after lunch and it was practically empty, which was perfect. The guy working was super helpful, service was quick, and the place was immaculate. Like... shiny clean. I got the golden sesame milk tea and hold tf up!!! 2025 Sesame Drink of the Year goes to BenGong's!!!!! I'm OBSESSED. It was nutty, creamy, perfectly balanced. I haven't stopped thinking about it. My husband got the mango mochi with additional barley, which was also good, but forget that - sesame is where it is at. Already dreaming about going back. Like... today. If not sooner.

    Tried Oreo brulee, creamy lychee, matcha red bean, strawberry sparkling tea
    Linda L.

    Overall, not comparable to the SG location in interior decor, taste, or service. We got the below: Oreo brulee milk tea: ran out of boba and replaced with mochi that tastes like tiny torn up bits of mochi. No tea taste. Creamy lychee: acceptable Matcha red bean: not bad, but doesn't look anything like the advertised picture Strawberry sparkling tea: not very sparkling, very sour, more like slightly strawberry tasting water I think the lady who helped me here was extremely pushy and up in my personal space to push their friends handmade press on nails. I wanted to just look and she kept handing me ones I didn't want (told her I'd just look myself, didn't want short, didn't want this or that). It was extremely annoying and her discount sucked, and I wanted her to leave me alone to look for myself. She even pushed my friend who was looking out of the way. Didn't like this experience and won't come back.

    if you're craving a milk tea, their special boba milk tea gets the job done. It's very tasty but can be a bit sweet since the boba has its own sugar glaze so I recommend 25 or 0% sweet if you typically like not very sweet things. Baristas are super nice and welcoming! good study space, seating up to 4 per table, with solid internet connection

    First drink is the peach oolong milk tea. There's a nice peach flavor and it doesn't overpower the oolong tea. Second drink is dragon well milk tea. It's made with longing tea (never had it before). The taste of the tea is very light. Beautiful cups :) drinks were made pretty quickly, no wait on a Saturday afternoon.

    Peach oolong milk tea w/tote bag
    Tiffany H.

    I feel like ben gong is always a safe option when it comes to boba. They have a variety of unique flavors, whether it's fruity or milky. My go to is their peach oolong milk tea with boba and barley. You can really taste the peach and the oolong tea and the flavors blend well together. They also have other refreshing fruity options that are all delicious! They were doing a thanksgiving promo where you receive a free tote bag and a free bag of tea when you buy any drink which was pretty neat! Service was excellent and we received our orders quickly. The shop has a good amount of seating for a boba store and is clean. Would recommend trying!

This is a great little spot to hang out with friends or family, play games, go on a date, or just relax by yourself with a drink. I came with my baby sister and we both really liked the atmosphere. The front of the store has cute seating, and there's also a smaller, almost private, area toward the back near the bathrooms with a little couch and board games, which gives the place even more personality. I'd say the back area with the small couch is more of a first-come, first-served spot. The couch could comfortably fit a group of 4-5 people you came with, or maybe just one couple. Otherwise, it might feel a little awkward sharing such a small space with people you don't know unless you're not socially awkward. They have a good variety of drinks on the menu, though they don't sell any food. My sister didn't like the drink she initially ordered because she had requested foam and salt, but the staff was kind enough to remake it to her liking, which we really appreciated. Good customer service makes such a difference, and they handled it very kindly. My drink came out great... good size, good flavor, and fairly priced. Overall, I'd definitely come back here again if I'm in the area. Cute shop, good drinks, great service, and a nice cozy vibe without feeling cramped.

Came here on a Sunday afternoon and had a really good experience. The shop was clean, ordering on the tablet was super easy, and the drinks came out pretty fast. The drinks are HUGE too, definitely worth the price. One thing to watch out for is that some toppings are already included in certain drinks, which was actually a nice surprise for me. There's a little bit of seating inside, and the location itself is really cute with lots of surrounding shops to walk around and browse. Definitely a nice place to grab a treat while spending the afternoon in the area. Also appreciated that there was plenty of street parking nearby, which made stopping in really convenient.

The Taro Ube Milk Tea is DELICIOUS! Its boba is also bouncy, playful, and soft. YUM!! I arrived at Boba Friend (Monrovia) on Sunday (around 6:30PM). Parking is easy. The lot is big; however, there were a few stumbling, unfortunate homeless people. Customers order at counter; there's no self-service kiosk. Cash and card are accepted. Staff is professional, friendly, and hard working. Staff politely answered all my questions. My drink took about one minute and twenty seconds. Very fast!! As mentioned, I enjoyed the Taro Ube Milk Tea ($6.50 - Large). There's a bold sweetness with fresh taro, and it's creamy & thirst-quenching. The accompanying boba are also good quality. These boba pearls are fresh, bouncy, and delicious. YUM!! The Surprise Cup ($4.50) is also very FUN! If you break open the side, a random mini plushy pops out. I received an adorable tiny dog/bear plushy. "I now have a new Boba Friend!" Regarding ambiance, Boba Friend (Monrovia) is comfortable and functional. There's customer internet with password; details are on a very tiny sign on the counter's glass. There's also about four electrical outlets. Customers also have access to an unmarked/hidden restroom in the back. The location also felt relatively clean and spacious. There's about six interior tables. There's also very extremely soft music, but I disliked how this music also played intermittent advertisements/commercials. However, it was somewhat spooky how the back area was so dimly lit. Overall, I found unexpected happiness and joy at Boba Friend (Monrovia). The boba is delicious; the drinks are flavorful & well-crafted; and the atmosphere has very adorable moments. If you enjoy boba, this is an easy recommendation. 4.9 out of 5!

I'm pretty sure they changed their matcha because it doesn't have a strong matcha taste like before and tasted very bland. The strawberry jam was said to be homemade but honestly it was extremely sweet and tasted like strawberry puree. The Yifang Fruit Tea ($7.69) with quarter sugar and less ice was more enjoyable. It was delicious and not too sweet. It had plenty of sweet and fresh passion fruit bits, as well as slices of fresh orange and apples on top. The tea tasted refreshing and not too bitter.
